How do people use stolen card numbers without getting caught? Simply ordering things to be delivered to your home doesn't seem like something that you would get

  You order it to Amazon drop off point? Or an address that you know no one lives at? Or buy online goods that you can re-sell later - bitcoins, steam/battle net accounts, any virtual currency. Drugs. I know people who had their stolen card used to pay for $200 Uber trips - once you leave the car good luck getting found out, and the driver doesn't know if your card got declined or not. I'm sure there's a thousand ways to get money out of stolen cards.

  Sure, but you could have it delivered sans signature to an empty house and grab it off the step. Or bounce the money through people who click on those "I made $234k last month working from home" ads.
